Cosmetic Dentistry: How to Keep Smiling in London

Londoners have plenty of reasons not to smile, what with rising house prices, Tube strikes, and a growing sense of isolation despite the bustling crowds. In fact, a 2014 survey found that London was the least happy major city in the UK.

Some Londoners, however, aren't smiling simply because they have dental issues—ranging from stained to crooked teeth. Discoloured teeth, for one, mean a lot of people are keeping their mouths closed, even when they're bursting to flash a grin at that cute stranger on the Tube.

The London lifestyle may be to blame for teeth that aren't as white as they used to be. Tea, coffee, and red wine, even naturally occurring minerals in tap water, can all stain teeth. Unsurprisingly for the capital city of a tea-drinking nation, tea consumption is high in London. It may come as more of a surprise to learn that, in 2013, a higher percentage of Londoners said they drank coffee than New Yorkers.

Fortunately, it's easy to restore your smile's natural whiteness with a cosmetic dental treatment. In laser whitening, one of the most modern procedures available, a whitening agent is painted on to your teeth. The laser activates this chemical, which starts working straight away. Safe, quick, and easy, laser whitening delivers instant results and can lighten teeth by several shades. Most importantly, it doesn't hurt.

After a visit to your cosmetic dentist’s office, you can finally give your fellow commuters a wide, heartfelt smile. They're probably having a bad day, too.
